My professor mentions repeatedly about zero point energy and its soon coming applications. I know that partical-antiparticle creation and anihilation on the subatomic scale happens with some frequency in a vacuum. Is this the energy they are talking about? Any information I have gleaned offline through searches shows that we pretty much have little or no idea as how to obtain this energy anywhere in the near future. And aside from any sci-fi fanatics, not many people know anything at all about it, (even they dont have much of a clue) Is this correct? Where are we with this technology?

I just think that if the baseball is everything, it has to be held together with something. And, that something must be sitting somewhere.

Consider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor in a cylinder with a piston. The original volume is 60. cm3. If the combustion of this mixture releases 830 J of energy, to what volume will the gases expand against a constant pressure of 670 torr if all the energy of combustion is converted into work to push back the piston?

I just read the little blurb about Stephen Hawking saying that humans are going to need to move to the moon or to one of the planets in order to sustain our species. Do you think that will eventually happen? Does anyone know if scientists are actually working on something like that? It seems so sci-fi that I can barely wrap my brain around it!
